    Pretty lame way to promote your proxy site dollar! I am ashamed!

    Yes. Can you provide any details, url, etc? Thanks!

    Please dont tell me you are going to spam your proxy dot biz url everywhere again. It's obvious you didn't succeed, come back when you have a clue!

    Since a few people are interested in buying Newsletter Groups - I have 7800+ member group that I'd be willing to sell at a rate of .20 cents per subscriber. You can see how profitable the group is and reviews by visiting my sales thread in my sig. The group makes me an average of $200-$300 a month.

    We've been spending a lot of time and effort fighting spammers at The Tech-FAQ Proxy List.

    Thankfully, we're seeing some progress.

    We've deleted thousands of proxies from our list. We've banned more than four thousand domains from our proxy list. We've banned spammers by their AdSense pub-id's. We've banned spammers by their DNS servers. We've banned spammers by different snippets of code they use on their proxies.

    The end result of all of this, to our site visitors, is a better list of proxies in our database.

    The end result of all of this, to you, is more traffic for your good proxies. We've seen the value of submitting a good proxy to our proxy list rise significantly. We are the best site on the Internet to promote your proxy sites at no cost.

    And yes, we still don't support paid listings. Sorry. :)

    Sounds like a pain in the ass, although completely unnecessary. Your current spam prevention model will be the death of you (seriously). You got everything backwards. The goal is NOT to keep bad sites off the list, its to keep good sites on. This may sound like they are the same thing, but its not. What I mean is... test to see if the proxy works, and how fast it works, instead of testing for things that disqualify the proxy.

    PS. reading over it, it dosnt make much sense, but I cant really express my opinions well in writing (or anything else, for that matter). Anywho... good luck!

    Proxy owners can't complain. If those subdomains and free domains and such crap are done away with, there should be much more traffic [And income] for us.

    Exactly. So, if you were to test for proxy functionality and speed, then all crap proxies (subdomains and free domains and such) would be automatically removed. 2 birds with one stone.

    What would be your criteria to assess functionality?

    Access a website through the proxy (using curl or some other alternative) and time how long it takes. For example, before I sold proxytoolbox.com, I had a script that would access http://www.proxytoolbox.com/proxytest.php through the given proxy and look for a certain text string to make sure that the proxy works.

    How do you programmatically deal with the different URL formats provided by all of the different proxy scripts?

    How do you deal with all of the proxies that are configured to drop all traffic coming in with a foreign REFERER tag? Your proxy check will look exactly like an abusive proxy hotlinker.

    First, you fetch the index page and save all the cookies returned. Then you parse through all the <form> elements and their children to find one that looks the most like a proxy form. Use curl to set all the cookies returned from the first index page and set the referrer as index page as well. Set correct post variables and submit. (If you dont like fuzzy logic, just try submitting all forms instead of looking for the correct one). Parse through the output to determine if the proxy is working and clock the speed (speed functions provided by curl aswell).

    Good luck :)
